I'm interested in this chip as well. Right now at ME its $170, compare to ~$220 of the 2500K, which is pretty good for me. Would you say that the higher clock (oc) of the K warrant its higher price? (the difference can be put into a better graphic card for example)

For gaming purpose, you'll not see the difference between the two cpus. And as stated in other posts, the overclocking is good only when it makes a difference in task you do regularly. Other than that, it is just wasted energy. So i really think that 50$ more in your gpu (or in a ssd) will have more impact in your day-to-day computing than going from 2400 to 2500k. That's only my two cents.
